• Lowered Voyage XP (As travelling through quadrants is faster now)
• Updating NUI Ship Status differently (Experimental, hopefully you don't have to type -ship to refresh now)

Next reset:

• Shout distance from Ships increased by 1 Tile (Same distance now as when you can engage other Player Ships)
• Fixing some broken Sencliff Quests
• Scrying on another ship will no longer change the Sails Score of that ship (Which in itself was a way to detect scrying)
• Added a Shipwright To Brog's docks
• Now with faster movement on the map using the spyglass may not be as efficient or fast enough;
  so spotted ships will now have more info displayed from the helm automatically such as their heading and their position from you as well as their sails state.

For instance:

"Spotted the Sea Leopard north-west of us, bearing south-east. They are at full-sail and are flying a merchant flag".

Changing direction or sails state will now also broadcast this change to nearby ships

Suggestions Reopened with Restructuring

We have decided to re-open the suggestion board on the forums, however we have also restructured some to help us on the development side!

You can find the suggestion, feedback, and bug boards in their own section on the forum now. These are broken into the following subsets:

• Classes, Spells and Mechanics
• Art, Tilesets and Areas
• Websites and Astrolabe
• The Other Things

Why are we changing this?

In the past we have often found it difficult to keep track of what suggestions or bugs have been handled. We are hoping with some change in this area we can keep track better in the long term, as well as focus discussion around the areas of work of our incredible volunteers.

What about old topics?

Shortly after this post goes up on Discord and the Forums I will move the old topics under "The Other Things". Over time, old topics will be gradually moved to their proper subsection.

For suggestions and bugs, please search for old topics prior to creating a new one in "The Other Things".

What are the rules / guidelines?

For now stick to the rules / guidelines defined in the old boards. In the future new sticky topics will be made by the leads for the various work areas on ideal formats for new topics.

BROGENDENSTEIN

MISC

From Aellowyn, next reset
Coal Pile: Smithing
CP 2 DC 2

• 10 Coal

[ActionReplay]

Next reset:

• All ship speed variables are exposed in the NUI Status window for the speed tooltip. The value is showing the correct speed with all variables taken into account.
• Updated ship ticks:

1 Tick = 2 rounds (12 seconds)
5 Ticks = 1 Cycle (1 minute)

Ship movement and vicinity checks will be updated every tick (2 rounds) instead of the previous cycle value of per minute.
Other updates like events and weather are still only updating every cycle / per minute as today.

This makes speed variables and conditions more important when travelling through the map. The shorter duration between ticks also makes chasing ships and finding their status more immediate. Should also allow for faster travel across the map.

I'll be monitoring this and see how it performs and will most likely tweak this as we go. Especially for the next ship combat update.

[ActionReplay]

Next reset:

• Fixed a ship readout bug that would stack messages from ship ticks to be prompted only on cycle updates
• Fixed a bug with Harbor Defense weapons showing incorrect nearby ships of that port
